So, I'm working through Wheelock on my own, and, since I'm still in the early chapters, everything is going pretty quickly (I also have a lot of time on my hands). But there is this two line poem out of chapter five that has me blinking.

What is going on with "noster" here? What is this adjective modifying? It can't be modifying "apro" since this word is in the ablative and "noster" is in the nominative. Is it modifying Caelinianus? If this is the case then an english translation would read:

You are correct, although our character here is Caecilianus. Basically, this glutton doesn't eat with anyone unless he has his roast boar, so the boar is his only dinner guest (and a fine one at that!).

Our Caelinianus doesn't eat without a pig, Titus:Caelinianus has a fine dinner guest!
